Interview seemed shady, as there was no contact of recruiter straight inital coding round.
the interviwer was not ready with the question and was underprepared.
If there is a person that can solve the leet code style provided question under 30-35 minutes. I respect you, and you are a GOD Level programmer.

My interviewer provided me extra 10 minutes, was able to write the complete code and implement the algorithm, but the test cases did not pass.
3 weeks later, got a generic rejection, and only to apply after a cooling period which is a year.
The company head count has not increased, It felt as if the interview was taken just for the sake of buring time and money of the interviewer and the candidate.

I applied online. I interviewed at Verily (San Francisco, CA) in May 2026
Interview

This position has been open for over 3 months which is impossible for the bay area. After all I waited 3 weeks to get this response.
